    Default My Favourite Joke In Grandville: Bete Noire by Bryan Talbot

    There are lots of good jokes in the new Grandville volume from Bryan Talbot.And lots of action adventure, swashbuckling, derring do and that unique brand of anthropomorphic steampunky Anglo/French struggle that rips through every page of Grandville at a cracking pace.

    But this is my favourite. In a scene similar to the James Bond/Q briefings, Inspector Brock gets given a look at his secret agent equipment...

    [NSFW] Ceci n’est pas une pipe, either.

    It's not a bomb either. It's a drawing of a bomb. Or a digital reproduction of a photo of a print of a drawing of a bomb.

    If you didn't tell me that this was a panel from Grandville, I would swear it was a panel from an issue of Hickman's Manhattan Projects.

    The great thing about "ceci n'est pas une pipe" is that one of its meanings is also a cheeky innuendo if you speak French.

    And it'd be remiss of me not to mention Scott McCloud here too:
